BENJAMIN BOWDEN

Highly personable sales and marketing professional. Experience within global corporations, management, GIS, event management and content production. A passion for people, creativity and adventure. Energetic yet considered. A strong leader and relationship-builder.

Towards the end of my studies, I joined Red Bull, the leading global energy drink brand, where I have been team lead for Student Marketeers around the country, carrying out an “on-campus” sales strategy - as well as organising and carrying out events and activations for thousands of students and Uni clubs. Throughout this time as Student Marketeer captain, I partnered with new accounts to join our VIP programme, and made substantial developments increasing Red Bull visibility and availability in the CBD area in both off and on-premise locations. I have also managed key sales accounts in the Auckland CBD which requires strong relationship management and attention to detail.

While at college, my role at Ben and Jerry’s saw me quickly rise to management level, which introduced me to the importance of efficient administration and organisation in a fast paced environment. This included stock organisation, staff management, problem solving and customer experience.
